Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: internasjonalisme

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "internasjonalisme" (internationalism) is a relatively long word in Nynorsk, borrowed from international scientific vocabulary. Its pronunciation follows Nynorsk phonological rules, with a tendency towards a more conservative pronunciation compared to Bokmål. The 'j' is pronounced as /j/, and vowel qualities are generally distinct.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: inter- (Latin, meaning "between" or "among") - functions as a combining form.
• Root: nasjon- (French/Latin via French, meaning "nation") - the core meaning-bearing element.
• Suffix: -al- (Latin, adjectival suffix, meaning "relating to") - forms an adjective from the root.
• Suffix: -isme (French/Germanic, denoting a doctrine, principle, or ideology) - creates a noun.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: nas-jo-na-lis-me. This is typical for Nynorsk words of this length and structure.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˌɪntɛrnaˈsjøːnaˌlɪsmə/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "sj" is a common feature in Nynorsk and is treated as a single phoneme /ʃ/. The vowel "a" can have different qualities depending on dialect, but in standard Nynorsk, it's generally /a/.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Internasjonalisme" primarily functions as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The principle of international cooperation and mutual understanding.
• Translation: Internationalism
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine or feminine, depending on context)
• Synonyms: Verdssamfunn (world community), internasjonalt samarbeid (international cooperation)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• nasjonalitet (nationality): na-sjo-na-li-tet. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• internasjonal (international): in-ter-na-sjo-nal. Similar prefix and root, stress pattern is similar.
• sosialisme (socialism): so-sia-lis-me. Similar suffix structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel sequences. "Internasjonalisme" has a more complex initial consonant cluster ("int") and a longer vowel sequence ("nasjo"), leading to a different syllable breakdown.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonants are assigned to the following vowel to create a valid onset (e.g., "in-ter").
• Vowel Break: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken only when they are difficult to pronounce or violate Nynorsk phonotactic constraints.
• Stress-Timing: Stress influences syllable prominence and can affect perceived syllable boundaries.

11. Special Considerations:

The "sj" cluster is treated as a single unit, influencing syllable division. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might slightly alter the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
